MSP430G2211IPW14 16-bit Microcontroller, 14-Pin TSSOP

MSP430G2211IPW14 Overview

The MSP430G2211IPW14 is an ultra-low-power, 16-bit microcontroller in a 14-pin package. It targets battery-powered and space-constrained industrial designs that need fewer I/O and lower standby currents compared with larger MCUs. The device supports industrial temperature range and standard MSP430 power modes for long run time and short wake-up. Sourcing and comparison details are available from IC Manufacturer.

MSP430G2211IPW14 Technical Specifications

MSP430G2211IPW14 Key Features

• 16-bit core ?? delivers compact code and faster integer math than many 8-bit alternatives.
• Ultra-low power ?? optimized for longer battery life with multiple low-power modes and fast wake-up.
• Small package ?? 14-pin TSSOP reduces PCB area compared with 20+ pin MCUs while keeping essential peripherals.
• Industrial range ?? specified for -40 ??C to +85 ??C, suitable for harsher ambient conditions.

Typical Applications

• Battery-powered sensor nodes where sub-mA active current and multiple sleep modes extend service life beyond comparable 8-bit parts.
• Portable measurement instruments requiring a compact 14-pin footprint combined with 16-bit arithmetic for more accurate calculations.
• Simple motor controllers and LED drivers that need a 16-bit timer and deterministic control in fewer pins and smaller PCBs.
• Industrial monitoring endpoints where industrial temperature rating and low standby draw reduce maintenance and support costs.

MSP430G2211IPW14 Advantages vs Typical Alternatives

The device balances size, power, and performance against larger or 8-bit alternatives. It uses a 16-bit core for more efficient numerical operations than many 8-bit parts, while a 14-pin TSSOP saves board area versus 20+ pin MCUs. The industrial temperature rating and MSP430 low-power modes give longer field life and fewer battery replacements compared with general-purpose microcontrollers.

FAQ

What package does it use?

The part is supplied in a 14-pin TSSOP (PW) package. This compact footprint reduces PCB area and is common for space-constrained industrial modules.

What is the operating voltage?

This device operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. That range supports common single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline arrangements without on-board level shifting.

Is it suitable for industrial temperatures?

Yes. The ‘I’ suffix denotes industrial grade. The specified range covers -40 ??C to +85 ??C for reliable operation in typical industrial environments.

How much program memory is available?

The device includes 2 KB of on-chip Flash. This provides straightforward program storage for control firmware, boot sequences, and modest feature sets.

What makes it low power?

Low power comes from the MSP430 core design and several sleep modes. Fast wake-up and efficient active-mode execution reduce average current compared with many legacy microcontrollers.
